2 c. white rice (pre-cook this, it works better chilled)
1 15 oz. can black beans, drained
1/2 c. chopped tomatoes
1/2 c. chopped avocado
1/2 c. chopped red onion
1/2 c. chopped cilantro
1/4 c. olive oil
4 Tbsp. lime juice (fresh lemon is best)
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 crushed garlic clove
salt and pepper

So you just mix all these ingredients together! We doubled the recipe and fed my family of 7 just fine! It was so yummy and refreshing! And my kids all ate! That is an accomplishment!

I bummed this Pancake recipe off of my Mother-in-law. And it is really good. So I thought I would share it with all of you. I sometimes add blueberries to the batter or chocolate chips.

Buttermilk Pancakes

1 cup of Buttermilk
1/3 cup of milk
1 egg
1 Tablespoon of oil

1 Tablespoon of sugar
1 Cup of flour
1 Tablespoon of baking powder

MIX liquids first.
Mix the dry ingredients

Then combine everything and mix. I hand mix this batter, I think it tastes better!

If too runny add 1/4 cup of flour.

For our family of 7, I have to triple this recipe…mostly because we have 3 growing boys

“Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot
save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear…”

Isaiah 59:1
